Foreign Policy Named a Finalist For Magazine Industry's Most Prestigious Award
The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) has announced that FOREIGN POLICY is a finalist for the 2003 National Magazine Award for General Excellence. FOREIGN POLICY is the only international affairs publication to be named a finalist for this year's awards. In 2001, FP won the Editorial Excellence Award presented by Folio, the magazine industry's leading trade publication.
The National Magazine Awards have been presented annually for 37 years and are the most prestigious honors in the magazine industry. The 2003 finalists were chosen from among 1,305 entries by a judging panel comprising 160 editors, art directors, educators, and media experts. The winners will be announced in New York City on May 7, 2003.
"We are thrilled that the National Magazine Award judges have named us a finalist for this year's award," said FOREIGN POLICY Editor & Publisher Moisés Naím.
"When we relaunched FP as a bimonthly, full-color magazine almost three years ago, we believed there was a new and growing market of readers who understand that what happens 'there' matters 'here'-and vice versa," Naím added. "Since the relaunch, FOREIGN POLICY has experienced the fastest growth in circulation in the magazine's 33-year history. I think this nomination for a National Magazine Award is further evidence that we're succeeding in our mission to provide compelling, jargon-free, yet rigorous analysis of the ways in which new international realities are reshaping nations, institutions, cultures, and, more fundamentally, our daily lives. Indeed, this nomination reinforces our belief that we're putting out the world's finest magazine of global politics, economics, culture, and ideas."
FP's National Magazine Award entry is composed of three FP issues: "Brand Name Bullies" (March/April 2002), "The Incredible Shrinking Eagle" (July/August 2002), and "Where is the International Community?" (September/October 2002).
